The man spat and said, “Bah, that old man has a weird temper. When he heard that I wanted to buy a recipe book, he immediately drove me out.”
“Then, did you not buy it?!” Lin Juan was shocked.
“We agreed on this when we made the deal. Regardless of whether the deal is successful or not, the money will not be refunded!” The man said, looking at Lin Juan warily.
“That’s right…” Lin Juan said.
The man didn’t care what Lin Juan had to say. He just said ‘It’s good that you know’ and strode away.
Lin Juan looked at the man’s back as he left and stamped her feet.
How could he not buy it?
In her previous life, Old Mr. Bai could just casually throw the recipe book to her, so he probably didn’t treasure the recipe book very much, so Lin Juan came up with the idea of using money to buy the recipe book.
Lin Juan thought that the recipe book would be easy to get, but she didn’t expect that she couldn’t buy it!
She was going to reopen her store with the help of this recipe book!
Lin Juan looked in the direction of the Bai’s house again and bit her lip.
Since she couldn’t buy it, she could only… (T/N: Oh, no…)
***
After tossing and turning all night, Lin Juan still couldn’t give up the recipe book that could open the door to wealth for her.
So the next day, around ten o’clock in the morning, Lin Juan appeared in Mao’er Lane again, still wearing a tightly wrapped outfit.
Thanks to having taken care of Old Mr. Bai for several years in her previous life, Lin Juan knew his living habits very well.
Old Mr. Bai was used to taking a walk in the park outside after breakfast. He would not come back until almost noon.
It was ten o’clock in the morning, so he must have gone out. Similarly, at this time, other neighbors were also going to work.
Therefore, this was really a good time to steal things.
At this time, most people were not rich, and there were not many thieves, so many people didn’t even lock their doors.
This was just right for Lin Juan.
She came to the front of the Bai’s house vigilantly, pushed the yard door with her hand first, and found that it was locked.
After cursing in her heart, Lin Juan did not panic.
The door was locked, but the wall was not high at all and it was not covered with broken glass like in later generations, so she could still climb over it.
Lin Juan acted immediately. She was well prepared, and with the help of tools, she easily climbed into the Bai’s yard.
The Bai’s courtyard was not much different from what she remembered.
Lin Juan found Old Mr. Bai’s bedroom, according to her memory, pushed the door open, and walked in.
She remembered that Old Mr. Bai had taken out the recipe book from the drawer under the desk.
Desk, desk…
Lin Juan kept muttering to herself and soon found the desk against the wall.
She rushed over and opened the second drawer, and sure enough, she saw a used and somewhat old book lying quietly inside.
Recipe book! She found it!
Lin Juan’s eyes were shining.
She picked up the recipe book in the drawer with trembling hands.
When her fingers touched the cover of the recipe book, Lin Juan seemed to see countless wealth coming at her.
Lin Juan showed an excited smile on her face. She reached out and flipped through it casually. Sure enough, she saw the different dishes written on it.
After all, she came to steal things, so Lin Juan quickly pulled herself out of her beautiful fantasy, hid the recipe book in her clothes, and prepared to leave quickly.
She quickly closed the drawer and Old Mr. Bai’s bedroom door. When she walked into the yard, she suddenly heard some noise at the door.
“Is anyone there?” Someone knocked on the door and asked.
When Lin Juan heard this voice, her face changed instantly. She didn’t expect that someone would come to see Old Mr. Bai at this moment.
“Is he not here?” The person outside muttered.
Lin Juan didn’t dare to make a sound. She said frantically in her heart: No one is at home, so you guys go quickly.
But the heavens obviously didn’t give Lin Juan much face. She heard someone else say, “It’s okay. Let’s wait here for a while!”
When Lin Juan heard this, she felt a chill down her spine.
Why was she so unlucky?
Looking at the time, Old Mr. Bai would be back soon. If she waited for a while, wouldn’t she be caught?!
What should she do?
Lin Juan was so anxious that she was circling in the yard. There were people blocking the way outside. She couldn’t get out even if she wanted to!
Another day for triple updates~~~
So happy~~
